Abstract
Addresses the issue of what skills and competences are required to maintain and improve innovation performance in Europe.The shift over previous decades, from primarily resource-based to knowledge based economies has changed and continues to change the kinds of skills and competences required to play their role in fostering innovation. Recent reports (CEDEFOP 2007/8, INSEAD 2009) indicate that projected skills gaps/shortages and mismatches present serious challenges to the maintenance of economic growth.
